General Safety Information
Users Manual
This manual contains information and instructions essential to the safe installation and use of the
54'' Galvanized Butterfly Fan. This manual should be read thoroughly before attempting any installation
or use of the fan. Keepthis manual in a location that it can be readily accessed. Failure to read the manual
and its safety instructions constitutes misuse of the product.
Safety in Handling the Butterfly Fan
This unit should be installed and maintained by a qualified technician familiar with the use and function of
ventilation fans. This will prevent situations leading to damaged components and/or injury. Whenever
possible, use mechanical lifting equipment when lifting or moving the fan during installation. Where
manual handling is required, seek assistance from other people.
Correct Use of the Butterfly Fan
The fan is designed solely for the purpose of ventilating agricultural buildings. Use of the fan in any other
way is a misuse of the equipment and may endanger yours or another person’s safety and health.
Intheinstallationanduse of theButterfly Fan, only genuine Cumberlandparts are to be used. Use of other
non-genuine parts is a misuse and may lead to dangerous situations.
This fan is not designed for use in atmospheres where the risk of explosion is foreseen. Such
environments may include enclosed areas of high dust concentrations, gas, vapors and fumes. Use in
such an environment is prohibited. If in doubt, contact Cumberland or your dealer.
Safety Guards
The Butterfly Fan contains moving and electrical parts which will cause serious injury, even death if
touched. Guards are placed on the fan to protect you. Operating the fan at any time with guards removed
or incorrectly fitted is a serious misuse of the fan and endangers you and others safety.
Safety in Maintenance
While the Butterfly Fan is designed to keep maintenance to a minimum, some items such as greasing the
bearings and belt replacement will be required over the life of the fan. Do not attempt any maintenance or
repairs on the fan unless you are competent to do so. Remember that the fan may, in certain situations,
operate under automatic control and will start without warning. Never attempt any work on the fan without
first isolating it from the power supply and locking out the isolator so that only you can turn the power back
ON. For your safety, follow the guidelines given in the Maintenance Section on Page 19 of this manual.
Before re-starting the fan, ensure that all electrical enclosures are locked, closed and all guards and other
safety measures are correctly fitted. If in doubt, contact your dealer or Cumberland for assistance.

Electrical Safety
Provisions for an adequate and safe power supply to the fan unit is essential to your safety. Cumberland
recommends that a competent and qualified electrician undertake all electrical wiring. All wiring is to be
installed in accordance with National, State and Local electrical codes. Fans used to ventilate
livestock buildings and other rooms where continuous air movement is essential should be connected to
individual electrical circuits with a minimum of two (2) circuits per room.
We strongly recommend the installation of supplementary natural ventilation as well as a back-up
thermostat. There should also be an alarm system on at least one cooling stage. For connection
requirements, refer to the diagram on the motor nameplate as well as information enclosed with the fan
control being used.
For single phase fans, motor overload protection should be provided for each fan. A circuit breaker or
slow blow motor type fuse must be used. A safety cut-off switch should be located adjacent to each fan.
Contact your local distributor for the correct cut-off switch.
The motor must be securely and adequately grounded. This can be accomplished by wiring with a
grounded conduit or a separate ground wire attached to the motor’s ground lug. Do not attempt operation
unless the motor is sufficiently grounded.
Do not kink power cable and never allow cable to come in contact with oil, grease, hot surfaces
or chemicals.
Remember, electrical safety is your responsibility.

3. Installation
Framing and Positioning
1. Construct the opening frame to the correct size (61-1/4" H x 58" W) as shown in Figure 3A.
Remember, framing must be able to support the weight of the fan assembly. Ensure the load
bearing portion of the bottom sill is rigid and properly supported.
2. When installing more than one fan while trying to maintain 60" centers it is necessary to use one
1" x 4" in the side framing. The cone diameter is normally 65" in diameter but the “Arches” in the side
cone panels can be flattened giving a total of 59" side to side. See tabbed cone panel assembly
on Page 12 for details. If not sure of sufficient clearance, contact your local distributor for more
information. (See Figure 3B.)
